Ive been in the fc map making community for 8 years, the one thing i notice time and time again is map builders moaning "i spend weeks making maps but they dont get played". making your maps is the easy part, now you need to look at your map as a product that you need to market, these days we have far cry forums, fansites, clubs, social media. dont be afraid of being a self promoter, im a self promoter when it comes to my maps, always have been, always will be, you can push your way to the front of the crowd, or moan at the back. dont rely on ubisoft or others to make you a success as a map builder in the fc community. dont be one of those guys who wants others to make him a success. dont be afraid to self promote. remember people cant play what they dont know about. self promote or fade away.

Hi All,
I am building a website called "FarCry5Maps.com" that will be ready soon where I will review maps and you can also review and rate the maps yourself and give comments and map creators can also describe their map and show off their map with images and videos.
Here are some screenshots of the website to give you an idea. It is still work in progress, but hope you guys like my effort sofar.

Looks greatOriginally Posted by emrdesign Go to original postit's nice to see a new fansite pop up. good luck, hope it does well.
Its not allways that easy. Maybe you r young still at home and your parents dont like you using social media. Maybe you dont have a pc. Maybe your afraid of social media. Maybe your not a social pearson. Maby there afraid of rejection. Maybe they dont have much time left between building maps going to work. Maybe you have a mental illness and are afraid of what people might think of your maps. Maybe you you dont think your maps are good enough to post. There are lots of reasons
The guys im talking about are the ones that will shout out MY MAPS ARE NOT BEING PLAYED they will say this on social media and here on the forums. im not talking about shy people.Originally Posted by sly6276 Go to original post
